"An aviation routine weather report (METAR) for BLH was issued at 1453. It stated: winds from 170 degrees at 8 knots; visibility 10 miles; skies clear; temperature 38 degrees Celsius"

Not particularly windy. Where do tail booms tend to fail after R44 mast bumping? "Just aft of the main fuselage attach point" or further back?
